Thats Progress Lyrics
Give me an "M"-M! Give me an "A"-A! Give me a "U"-U! Give me an "L"-L! Give me your money - Sure! What's that spell? - Mall What's that spell? - Shopping Mall
'Scuse me Pardon my greed- You're evicted, time to leave Don't matter if your family's lived here 30 years
We're tripling the rent Time's up, the sheriff's here Too bad for you if you freeze out in the street
The croissant and cookie palace Downstairs will symbolize The old neighborhood whose soul has slowly died Been gentrified
[Chorus] That's progress That's progress Doesn't progress make you feel good inside? See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists

Cameras catch you runnin' red lights Schoolrooms with no windows Computer picks your career at age 15
Universal Price Code I.D.'s With the stripe the laser reads And records where you've been, when you're sick And what you eat
For every spy in government There's 50 private eyes Who round up dirt on you to keep on file Then sell the file
[Chorus]
Progress don't make me feel so good inside
You can't live here We won't hire you We know all the nasty things you do
Bought a dossier on your whole life Clear back to the pranks you did in school at age 5
There's millions on file at the touch of a button Your boss or your landlord will love our choice cuts of gossip If it's lies, what can you do? 'Cause it costs too much to sue The last person who'll ever see your file is you
Had enough, I moved back home To the mountains where I belong But ski resorts have tamed the wild west
The hills we used to roam Now they're privately owned And scarred with cheezy suburbs and cement
The 'Tracts For Sale' sign promises 'Deer in your back yard' If the deer somehow get past the fences and guards And the industrial 'park'
[Chorus]
That's progress That's progress Looks like I'll have to move to Yellowknife
Progress-bleah! Your idea of progress wrecks too many lives
